New York State Green Building Construction Act
Information
On August 26, 2009, Article 4-C of the Public Buildings Law was passed mandating that the construction and substantial renovation of state buildings comply with green building standards. The New York State Office of General Services (OGS) is obligated to promulgate rules and regulations establishing the construction requirements and procedures necessary to implement Article 4-C. While the Act took effect immediately, the agency green building construction requirements take effect on August 26, 2010.
